By watching Farniok's tape this preseason with the Cowboys, watching his tapes from college and reading the Scouting Reports on him.
His preseason performance against 3rd stringers and guys no longer in the league? His college tape against non-NFL players? Hey, I’m not knocking Farniok. I’m glad we have him. But he’s a rookie 7th round draft pick yet to prove himself.
Biadz is a second year 4th round pick who has played well at times and has not played well at times. He's certainly developing. But has he played so poorly that we are ready to scrap his development and put an untested 7th round pick in for him who’s never played a down of meaningful NFL football?
Not sure, just asking those who may be able to tell....
Is it possible that Steele may look extra good because Martin is helping him, and therefore not helping Biadasz so much, making HIM look worse?
I doubt it, but the thought popped into my head.
It certainly isn't something that would be said publicly if true.
Steele has been an excellent run blockers his own. He literally has pancaked opponents on nearly double digit instances the last 3 games. His pass blocking needs to improve but he’s better at that than he was last year.
If I were the GM, I would look long and hard about whether Collins is worth his cap space. He will have missed 21 games in the last two seasons, all because of an off field car wreck and poor decisions regarding his off field choices. The first most important “ability” a player must exhibit is “availability” and Collins hasn’t shown that. We have a ton of FAs to consider keeping this next off season. Is keeping a guy you can’t count on worth it at the expense of some guys who will be? It’s a decision that will have to be made.
